one of the hardest things to do is realize that you have to give up on a relationship: a friend, family, loved one. although it’s hard to achieve, relationships are a two-way street where everyone gives some and takes some. when the scale is tipped too much one-way, you’re driving down dangerous territory.
i had a good friend who helped me through so many things, but things went awry and now he ignores me. i’ve done my best to try to mend things – emails, txts, phone calls – and then asked for advice from friends. i wanted to send him a gift or something, but my friends advised that it should be my last act of reaching out. you can only do so much and get rejected so much until you have to force yourself to realize that even if you want the person back in your life, it doesn’t matter because the person doesn’t want you in their life.
the best you can do is know that you tried your best to eliminate all ifs, ands, or buts in your relationships so that you live without regrets. i tried. but i feel that i failed.
